Allen remains suspended

Powell High School football coach John Allen’s status is unchanged. He remains on ad-ministrative suspension from coaching pending the outcome of an investigation into allega-tions of unnecessarily placing students at risk of injury. He was suspended on the day of the Oak Ridge game.

The matter has been re-ferred to the Department of Children’s Services, and Allen remains a teacher of econom-ics and personal fi nance at Powell High School.

Powell Drive will open this year

We haven’t heard much of that since that since August elections and Indya Kincannon’s depar-ture whittled McIntyre’s major-ity down to a 4-5 minority, and depending on the outcome of the Nov. 4 race to replace Kincannon, the former majority would prob-ably be well advised to start prac-ticing a new mantra.

New board member Amber Rountree has one:

“Go big or go home.”Rountree has requested a

called meeting to vote on abolish-ing SAT-10, an exam for kinder-garten through second grade that many educators feel is inappropri-ate. SAT-10 is not state-mandated, and board chair Mike McMillan is expected to honor her request. Rountree wants a vote before the tests are ordered.

Board member Karen Carson is expected to oppose Rountree’s

South Knox rep wants fewer tests in K-2

By Betty Bean In the recent past, when teach-

ers or parents asked for relief from Knox County Schools’ test-happy corporate reform regime, Super-intendent James McIntyre and the 8-to-1 school board majority that had his back would tell them to suck it up and get with the pro-gram.

Analysis

Rountree

School chant: ‘Change is hard’

“Change is hard,” they’d say to tearful mothers telling of their children’s mounting test anxiety.

“Change is hard,” they’d tell teachers saddled with evalua-tions based on subjects they never taught.

efforts. Carson said at last week’s mind- and butt-numbing fi ve-hour workshop that it’s the school board’s job to hire a su-perintendent and set goals. It’s the superintendent’s job to decide what

tests will be administered.But Rountree disagrees. She

quit her job as a school librarian to serve on the school board. Her South Knox constituents elected her, and she’s not been shy about saying how she feels about Mc-Intyre’s heavy-handed adminis-tration.

Rountree, Patti Bounds and Terry Hill have served notice that they intend to own future school board meetings. It’s unlikely that McIntyre’s lengthy, orchestrated

presentations will recur. County Commissioner Charles

Busler said last week that commis-sioners would never allow Mayor Tim Burchett, or any mayor, to sit at their table and control their meetings.

In fact, Burchett often stays in his offi ce, monitoring commis-sion meetings and making himself available if needed.

Change is hard.And we should expect change

for the Knox County Board of Education, starting this week with Amber Rountree’s effort to dis-continue high-stakes testing for kids who have not yet learned to read. Are we really that data-driv-en? And to what goal?

Will Rountree win the vote? Maybe yes, maybe no. But the message is clear: Go big or go home.

Yes, change is hard.

By Sandra ClarkThe committee called Enhance

Powell continues to meet and now Sage Kohler, president of the sponsoring Powell Business and Professional Association, is push-ing for progress.

The committee will wrap up for the year in November.

Chuck Denney brought Dr. Garry Menendez from UT to ex-plore both Powell Drive (the new Emory Road) and the Powell Sta-tion Park.

Menendez made no promises, but said he would consider using

the park as a project for landscape students during spring semester.

Justin Bailey has bush-hogged paths behind the park, opening up the high school’s outdoor class-room and multiple access points to Beaver Creek. The committee is debating low-impact ways to make the county-owned land more ac-cessible.

Kim Severance has tackled a project to modify a 2-car garage on the site to create a picnic pavil-ion. She hopes CTE (career tech-nical education) students will be assigned to construct the shelter.

Charles Busler, county com-missioner, met last week with the committee to outline his big ideas for Powell.

Busler supports a put-in for canoes and kayaks behind Powell Station Park. He sees future timed trials from Clayton Park in Halls to Powell Station Park.

“Anything to get folks to Pow-ell to support our businesses,” he said. He also wants to close Emory Road through downtown Powell in spring 2016 for an all-day street fair with food and music.

Enhance Powell wants to land-

scape Powell Drive, but hit a road-block when examining the plans. The road has almost no right-of-way with sidewalks and sloped sides. The contract calls for it to open to traffi c by Dec. 13, 2014.

Denney said there are possibili-ties at the on-grade intersection with Brickyard Road, but obvious-ly the PBPA committee can only plant on the right-of-way with per-mission of TDOT.

Enhance Powell will meet at 4:15 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 6, at Re-alty Executives on Emory Road. Interested residents are invited.

Conner Road bridge contract is $1.2 millionBy Sandra Clark

The bridge on Conner Road will be widened and rebuilt. Blalock & Company has been awarded a contract for $1.2 million, accord-ing to Dwight Van de Vate, senior director of Engineering and Public Works for Knox County.

Commissioner Charles Busler met with residents who wanted to keep the current bridge as a picnic area, but both Busler and Van de Vate said that is not an option.

“We would have to redesign the new bridge which has a large wing wall coming off (where the current

bridge stands),” said Van de Vate.“We’re talking about delay for

a good while and possible loss of funding.”

TDOT will fund $1 million of the project with state and federal money. The permitting process is cumbersome, and any design

change puts the project back to square one.

Van de Vate said a public ame-nity such as a picnic area would require public parking, which is non-existent on Conner Road.

Both he and Busler said the citi-zen interest can have a good out-come, possibly with a footbridge across Beaver Creek in the area of Powell Station Park.

Burchett sets area meetings

Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett will host 10 constit-uent meetings during October and November to give citizens the opportu-nity to speak individually with him about

issues that are important to them. These meetings are open to the public.

In North Knox County, he will be at the Halls Senior Center, 4-5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 14; and Fountain City Libra ry, 11 to noon, Monday, Nov. 17.

Bids in on Harbison’s project

Bids are in for the TDOT project to improve traffi c fl ow at the intersection of Emory Road and Tazewell Pike, and the price is over $5 million. Mark Nagi, TDOT spokesper-son, said it normally takes two to four weeks to review bids and let a contract.

“This is the four-way stop that is being improved and signalized,” he wrote in an email. “This project was in the Oct. 17 letting, and here are the apparent low bids. Over the next couple of weeks bids will be reviewed and a contract awarded. A schedule will be known following the pre-construction meeting, which normally takes place 2-4 weeks after the contract is awarded.”

The apparent low bidder was Charles Blalock & Sons Inc. at $5,196,569.50, fol-lowed by Highways Inc. at $5,814,344.40 and APAC-At-lantic Inc. at $7.7 million.

Gamma Knife suits all agesMale and female, younger and

older, Gamma Knife (Leksell Gam-ma Knife Perfexion) radiosurgery offers treatment for brain tumors in a wide range of patients. This life-saving treatment is available in the Knoxville area, only at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center.

Gamma Knife is not a “knife” at all, but a non-invasive, gentle treatment using precisely focused radiation beams to target brain tu-mors without cutting.

“They make sure everything you go through, that you’re comfort-able. It only took about an hour

and a half for my procedure,” said Travis Kellar of Oak Ridge, 24. He went home later that day.

In April 2014, Kellar was di-agnosed with a type of germ cell cancer. Germ cell refers to the tes-ticles, but Kellar’s cancer began in his chest and spread to the brain.

“The chest tumor was about the size of my heart, and it had slowly attached itself to the top of my heart. It would have taken my life if they didn’t catch it when they did,” Kellar said.

Dr. Joseph T. Meyer, a radia-tion oncologist at Fort Sanders, fi rst

treated Kellar with whole brain radia-tion, and Kel-lar received chemotherapy to target the chest tumor through Dr. Daniel Ibach at Thompson Cancer Sur-vival Center, West.

“Initially, we were kind of dis-mal about his prognosis because

Travis didn’t respond to the che-motherapy,” said Meyer.

Dr. Ibach and Dr. Meyer referred Kellar to Indiana University and Dr. Lawrence Einhorn, the world’s ex-pert on germ cell cancer (who also led Lance Armstrong’s successful treatment for testicular cancer).

In Indiana, Kellar had success-ful, aggressive surgery to remove the chest tumor, and laboratory reports showed the cancer was fi nally responding to the chemo-therapy. Kellar then returned to Fort Sanders for follow-up with the Gamma Knife.

“We specifi cally targeted the re-maining brain tumors with Gam-ma Knife,” said Meyer. “Travisshould have an excellent progno-sis. Typically, germ cell cancer pa-tients have a very good prognosiswith aggressive treatment.”

Today, Kellar is in remis-sion. “I’m feeling great, I’m backto work,” he said. “I owe a lot of thanks to people at Fort Sanders and the doctors involved. I re-ally want to thank the doctors andeveryone that has supported me through this entire procedure andall the prayers I’ve received.”

Gamma helps a grandmotherGamma Knife is also often a

good option for patients who must or want to avoid whole-brain ra-diation during cancer treatment.

“I jumped at the chance to have Gamma Knife radiation. That’s the only way to go,” said Harriett Prof-fi tt of Knoxville, a grandmother of three. She was fi rst diagnosed with lung cancer in 2012.

After being treated with chemo-therapy and radiation, Proffi tt’s cancer spread to her brain in Octo-ber 2013. She was offered Gamma Knife radiosurgery at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, instead of whole brain radiation.

“The trend nowadays for pa-tients with four or fewer tumors is to try to avoid whole-brain radia-

tion and treat those patients with Gamma Knife radiosurgery alone,” said Dr. Joseph T. Meyer, who treated Proffi tt.

“We wanted to avoid whole brain radiation and its side effects such as hair loss, scalp irritation, fatigue, ir-ritation of the ears and fl uid behind the ear drums,” said Meyer.

“But the most signifi cant toxic-

Brain surgery without the ‘surgery’The Leksell Gamma Knife Per-

fexion machine has treated hun-dreds of patients since coming to Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center in 2011. And both physicians and patients are delighted with the results. “I continue to be amazed by the tumor reduction we receive us-ing gamma knife technology,” says Dr. David H. Hauge, Medical Di-rector of the Fort Sanders Gamma Knife Center.

Using the Gamma Knife radio-surgery system requires a team ef-fort. “We have both neurosurgeons and radiation oncologists together in the pre-treatment evaluation, as well as the actual procedure. Spe-cially-trained radiation physicists and nurses also help ensure a safe and pleasant experience for the pa-tient,” explains Hauge.

Despite its name, the Gamma Knife is not really a “knife.” There’s no cutting, no anesthesia and no hospitalization afterward. Radiation energy is targeted through the skull and into brain tumors, destroying them while leaving healthy tissue

unharmed in the process. Treat-ments can last less than two hours, and patients go home the same day.

Gamma Knife can also be used to treat a number of other brain disor-ders, like non-cancerous tumors of the pituitary gland, tumors of the ear or eye nerves, or malformations of the blood vessels in the brain.

Fort Sanders is an “open” center, meaning Gamma Knife credentialed and trained physicians in the area are welcome to use the technology. Six neurosurgeons and six radia-tion oncologists from Knoxville area hospitals participate regularly at the Fort Sanders Gamma Knife Center.

The biggest benefi t of the Gam-ma Knife is its ability to treat multi-ple tumors at once, up to 15 or more. The Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion is designed to allow treatment of multiple metastatic brain tumors developed from primary cancers outside the brain such as lung, breast, ovarian, colorectal, kidney and melanoma.

The Gamma Knife is much safer than other radiosurgical tools for

brain tumors because it does not expose the rest of the brain or body to radiation. “We can deliver the treatment with pinpoint precision,” explains Fort Sanders neurosurgeon Dr. Joel Norman. “When you’re de-livering radiation to the brain, par-ticularly around the brain stem or optic nerves that control eyesight, precision is everything.”

Dr. Hauge agrees. “In a recent study, Gamma Knife was shown to deliver far less radiation to the rest of the body outside the brain than any other currently available cranial radiosurgical technology.”

However, while the Gamma Knife is one-of-a-kind in the area, it is not a cure for everything. Some tumors of the brain will still need traditional surgery. “Gamma Knife adds another treatment option for patients with brain cancers or other non-cancerous abnormalities in the brain,” says Dr. Norman.

ity of whole-brain radiation is that it can affect cognitive function,” added Meyer. “It’s diffi cult to pre-dict, but (impairment) may be more prevalent in older patients.”

While it spares the rest of the brain, the drawback of Gamma Knife radiosurgery alone is that cancer is more likely in other parts of the brain, Meyer said. In Prof-fi tt’s case, the tumors returned, and she had another Gamma Knife treatment in April 2014.

“After any Gamma Knife treat-

ment, we continue to keep an eye on patients and follow up every two to three months,” Meyer ex-plained.

Proffi tt said she would recom-mend the care at Fort Sanders andThompson Cancer Survival Cen-ter to anyone facing cancer treat-ments.

“They’re wonderful,” she said.“They work as a team and theykeep all of my doctors informed of what happened. They’re just really super nice.”

And the winners areEverything you ever

(didn’t) want to know about Knox County politics.

In about a week, those who didn’t take advantage of early voting will cast their ballots in local and state general elections.

Feel free to use the peer-less prognostications below as a guide to tasting the thrill of victory by voting for the winning side.

■ State Senate District 7Republican candidate

Richard Briggs is regarded as the un-Stacey, a dignifi ed upgrade from the clownish Campfi eld.

It’s not likely that Briggs will become a target for Jon

LarryVan

Guilder

Stewart or Stephen Colbert, but the good doctor’s core values are little different from the man he looks to replace.

A line in the modern Hip-pocratic Oath reads, “I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is pref-erable to cure.”

Briggs, a respected sur-geon, opposes Medicaid ex-

pansion and the Affordable Care Act, despite the latter’s emphasis on preventive medicine. Go fi gure.

In contrast, Democratic candidate Cheri Siler fa-vors healthcare reform. She supports an increase in the minimum wage, a posi-tion Briggs considers a “job killer.”

Not surprisingly, she’s been unsuccessful in luring her painfully shy opponent to the debate platform. In this overwhelmingly Re-publican district Briggs has nothing to gain from a mod-erated debate.

Residents of the 7th Dis-trict deserve more than just an upgraded vocabulary in

their next state senator, but they aren’t going to get it. Briggs rakes in 70 percent or more of the vote.

■ Gloria Johnson vs. Lane Kiffi nOtherwise known as the

race for State House District 13, the contest has taken a turn for the bizarre.

A fl yer recently mailed by a PAC supporting Republi-can candidate Eddie Smith compared Democratic in-cumbent Gloria Johnson to Lane Kiffi n, “all talk” and “promises, promises.”

If nothing else, this Hail Mary tactic demonstrates that no idea is too desperate or too shopworn not to be repeated.

In 2012, Tennessee Re-publicans employed the

same shtick in a television commercial. Like Kiffi n, said the announcer, John-son’s strategy was to “take the money and run.”

Johnson might consider countering with an endorse-ment from Bo Wallace, the giant-slaying Ole Miss quarterback who led the Rebels to a recent win over Kiffi n’s Alabama Crimson Tide. If Wallace isn’t paid it shouldn’t violate NCAA rules.

If Johnson really wants to play hardball, use six de-grees of separation to link Smith with Derek Dooley and give Kiffi n haters a run for their money.

Johnson has earned an-other term, but this one will be close. When time ex-pires, Johnson 52 percent, Smith 48.

■ Nashville CatsIn the best of all possible

worlds, Republican Mark “Coonrippy” Brown would be squaring off against Democrat Charlie Brown for the governor’s chair.

“Coonrippy” wants the state to give back his “res-cue” raccoon it seized and released into the wild. Char-lie wants his own party to support him. Both are likely to be disappointed.

In the real world, Charlie Brown opposes Republican incumbent Bill Haslam. Even Lloyd’s of London wouldn’t give you odds on the Democrat’s chances.

Brown captured 30 per-cent of likely voters in an Au-gust Rasmussen poll. I’d be surprised to see him reach that percentage on Nov. 4.

The little man who wasn’t there

– From “Antigonish” by William Hughes Mearns

2014 appears to be the year of not showing up – particularly for Republicans Eddie Smith and Richard Briggs, who are employing the same no-show tactic, likely for different reasons.

ic (note the small D) process and makes Briggs look like a wuss, despite the pictures of him decked out in combat gear on his campaign litera-ture.

Smith, who has been ducking public forums in what is thought to be a tight District 13 House race, doesn’t enjoy a name rec-ognition advantage over the incumbent Johnson, despite assaulting voters with a re-lentless negative direct mail campaign that peaked with a ludicrous Alabama Week comparison piece likening Johnson to Lane Kiffi n.

Despite being offered many potential dates for a League of Women Vot-ers forum, a genteel affair most candidates consider a required campaign ap-pearance, neither Smith nor Briggs could be bothered to fi nd the time. And neither

accepted the joint invitation from County Commission-ers Jeff Ownby (R) and Amy Broyles (D) to appear at a forum at West High School last Thursday (the three District 2 school board can-didates were also invited, and Jamie Rowe was the only one to attend).

Smith did, however, make a guest appearance at South-Doyle Middle School earlier in the week on an evening when parent/teach-er conferences were being held. He stationed himself in the teachers’ break room near the food, where he had easy access to a captive au-dience and was clearly in violation of Knox County Schools’ policy prohibiting political solicitation inside schools:

“Solicitation or adver-tising in any form by can-didates for public offi ce or

But the effect is the same – their would-be constitu-ents are being cheated of the opportunity to hear them defend their positions and

philosophies against those of their Democratic oppo-nents, Gloria Johnson and Cheri Siler. Both men, pre-sumably, are confi dent the R behind their names will secure their elections.

Briggs, the presumed frontrunner for the District 7 Senate seat after his pri-mary victory over Stacey Campfi eld, is likely relying on the well-practiced, Dun-can-family theory of not allowing lesser-known op-ponents the chance to raise their public profi le at his expense. While this makes some strategic sense, it also shortchanges the democrat-

ted on school facilities, on school grounds or in school publications.”

Smith refi ned the tac-tic three days later when he sent a campaign worker armed with yard signs and campaign literature to West High School, thus managing to violate KCS policy with-out even being there.

Tammy Kaousias is the newest member of the Knox County Election Commis-sion and is the appointee of state Rep. Gloria John-son, who has known her for more than 20 years.

An attorney in solo prac-tice of business law, she is a member of St. George Greek Orthodox Church. She met her husband in 1997 in West Java, Indonesia, where they married. He is a Knoxville native, and they live in North Hills.

She is an engaging, com-mitted activist on voting-rights issues.

Kaousias, 48, is one of two Democratic members of the election commission. She wants feedback from the public on whether the election commission should meet at 8 a.m. as it makes it diffi cult for working people to attend if their workday starts at the same time.

She says it is “very un-

fortunate” that Belle Morris School was closed as a vot-ing precinct but is not sure it can be reopened. She feels voting should be accessible and the process transparent and nonpartisan.

She serves on the board of the Knoxville Jazz Or-chestra with such widely known personalities as Hal-lerin Hill, Bill Arant and El-len Robinson. She likes yoga and owns the Glowing Body Yoga Studio off Central Av-enue.

As an election commis-sioner she is paid $300 a month and has declined the county health insurance for which she is eligible.

With the absence of the chair, Christopher Heager-ty, the commission is now tied at two Democrats and two Republicans, making it totally bipartisan. Kaousias is the only commissioner not pictured on the website but plans to correct that soon.

Both Democrats on the Knox County Election Com-mission are women. The GOP has not had a woman serving on the local election commission in over 25 years since Hazel Showalter.

In April 2015, the GOP state legislators will make three recommendations for commissioners to the State Election Commission, which is virtually always honored. It will be interest-ing to see if the GOP legisla-tors, which include at least two new members (Rick Briggs and Martin Daniel), will make any changes in the current lineup. If Hea-

gerty is not back to work at the commission by then he is likely to be replaced.

■ Until 2008 there was a replica of the offi ce of the late Sen. Estes Kefauver at the University of Tennessee Hoskins Library. Then, due to structural concerns, that area of the building was closed and the furniture and photos were placed in stor-age, where they have been for six years. They are not likely to be on public display for some time to come.

The Kefauver family, some of whom live in the San Francisco area now, would like to see the offi ce re-es-tablished. The problem is no one seems able to do it.

The UT library, under the able leadership of Steve Smith, simply does not have a place to locate it. The arti-facts in storage have not di-minished.

Discussion has occurred with the Tennessee State

Museum executive direc-tor in Nashville. However, the museum has much of its current collection, includ-ing over 300 Red Grooms art pieces, in storage, hop-ing for a new museum to be built someday. The likeli-hood of a new state museum in Nashville, which would cost over $160 million (not including new storage space), being built soon is wishful thinking given the needs competing for con-struction funds.

Last July 1, in an email to Lindsay Kefauver, one of the senator’s daughters, the ex-ecutive director of the state museum said the museum “was honored to become the repository” of the collection but she may have spoken too soon as the furniture portion of the collection is actually owned by the U.S. Senate, which stated clearly in 1965 the furniture must be returned to the senate if

not used as a memorial to Kefauver.

Is having the Kefauver collection in storage for six years and facing another six years of storage still a public memorial?

There is also no room for it to be displayed and would simply be in storage in Nash-ville instead of Knoxville if transferred. The commis-sion members were also not informed about this devel-opment at the time but are now aware of it. (This writer is a commission member).

The museum commis-sion will need to set policy on this given that other, more recent Tennessee sen-ators have been nationally known as Senate majority leaders (Baker and Frist) and/or president of the Sen-ate (Al Gore).

■ Sen. Lamar Alexan-der will be at the Knoxville Crowne Plaza Nov. 4 to await the election results.

By Betty BeanDemocrats once domi-

nated the Volunteer State’s political landscape – both senators, the governor, the General Assembly and most of the congressional del-egation. Now, Republicans control most every nook and crevice of government and Democrats are trying to climb out of the ditch.

One way to begin to do it would be to fi gure out a way to bottle the energy of June Jones, fi eld representative for the U.S. Senate cam-paign of Democratic Party nominee Gordon Ball.

Jones, whose Cedar Lane home is one of the prime yard-sign locations in Knox-ville, made national news in 2012 when vandals kept tearing down her “Tennes-seans for Obama” billboard.

“My yard was a battle-ground,” she said. “Not two days after we put it up, someone tried to steal it.”

So she put the sign back up with deep, reinforced stakes. They came back with a box cutter and sliced it up.

“I was so upset, but you know what? I taped it up… and they did it again. And so I taped it up again and started putting up other signs asking if you’d want to be part of a party that would suppress freedom. The best thing about it was the people that would come to my door and thank me for standing up to them.

“One lady said, ‘I’ve been driving by your house for days.’ I got letters from all over the United States. It was amazing to see all that hate turned into something more.

“My overall personal goal is to make Tennesseans proud to say they’re Demo-crats.”

Jones had more on her mind than signs that year. She was part of Obama’s

The unsinkable June Jones

North Carolina Get Out the Vote operation.

“East Tennessee led the action for the president, and I was over nine counties as a volunteer. We rocked it. The last three weeks of the cam-paign, we had a war room in a condo that a doctor let us borrow. We had tables, chairs and computers in ev-ery room.”

After the North Carolina

polls closed, the group start-ed making calls in Western states as part of the “Rolling Thunder” operation.

That, said Jones, is how to affect the process from a “red” state.

Her conviction that her party can exert its infl uence closer to home isn’t damp-ened by a recent poll show-ing her candidate 21 points behind Republican Lamar

Alexander.“We have absolutely got

them on the RUN!” Jones said. “He’s pounding Gor-don in the press and spend-ing money in the Tri-Cities and Middle Tennessee. La-mar Alexander didn’t fi ght this hard against (primary opponent) Joe Carr! Forty years is enough! We need to change what’s going on in Washington, and until we change WHO’s in Washing-ton, what they’re doing is not going to change.”

Jones is in charge of or-ganizing counties in Middle and upper East Tennessee. The day after this interview, she was headed to meet with Democrats in Hamblen County and with the sheriff of Greene County.

The sheriff of Greene County is a Democrat?

“Yes!” she said. “Pat Han-kins. He’s a Democrat in a very Republican area, and he got voted in. Isn’t that GREAT? We can DO this!”

Trail panoramas may be fi rst for a U.S.

greenway systemBy Bill Dockery

If you take a stroll on a Knoxville greenway and you run into a robot riding piggyback on the shoulders of a hiker, you have just seen (and been photographed by) a Google Trekker.

But if you try to talk to the hiker, he/she will hand you a card that says, “We’d love to chat, but we have to keep moving!”

The card explains that Knoxville and Knox County are partnering with Google to produce a Street View video of the whole green-way system and other notable local landmarks.

When completed, the project will allow armchair hikers to enjoy 86 miles of Knox greenways from the comfort of their computer desks or smart phones. The virtual visuals will comple-ment the elaborate map of trails and parks recently re-leased by the city Parks and Recreation Department.

Both the department and Google public affairs folks decline to talk about the project, but a number of sources have confi rmed that the Street View trek-king has been underway for about a month. The Google website confi rms that Street View imaging is going on now in Knox and Jefferson counties.

Sources say that this project may be the fi rst Street View focusing on a U.S. greenway system, but that could not be confi rmed at press time. A number

of Street Views are avail-able on trails in Yosemite National Park and along Florida beaches.

Most of Google’s Street View images are cap-tured by a multi-camera tower strapped to the top of a small car that is driven along streets and roads. The cameras capture a 360-degree panorama of the passing scenery to form an interactive Google map.

The greenway project makes use of a similar tow-er outfi tted as a 40-pound backpack that sports 15 cameras.

Preparing a Street View video involves four steps: collecting images, matching the images to the ter-rain, stitching the images together seamlessly into a 360-degree panorama and using lasers to create a three-dimensional image that the viewer can move through virtually.

In recent months, Google has expanded use of the Street View technol-ogy to document museums, airport terminals, walks, parks and other scenic locales. In addition to the backpack and car, Street View cameras have been mounted on trolley carts, snowmobiles and tricycles. The company lends the Google Trekker equipment to nonprofi ts and tourism organizations, as well as researchers and universi-ties that can provide access to hard-to-reach places.Contact Bill Dockery at wldockery@

Good man HughBy Sandra Clark

Anyone in Knox County Republican politics knows the name Hugh Noe.

He was an institution in the Alice Bell community, chairing the GOP commit-tee there for decades. He died Oct. 21 at age 89, just a month shy of 90.

His son, Dr. Ronald E. Noe of Lake City, captured Hugh in his eulogy:

“Dad believed in hard work. (pause) Not so much in vacations. …

“He was a man of convic-tion and diligence. He val-ued education, and he loved his grandbabies.

“We are losing a genera-tion of diligence.”

Hugh and Jean were mar-

ried for 62 years. Pastor Toby Everett of their church, Alice Bell Baptist, said, “Jean, I commend you.”

Everyone at the service acknowledged there was never doubt about where Hugh stood.

He liked Tim Burchett back when Tim was a skin-ny kid who tried to save the world by recycling waste vegetation for mulch. Bur-chett landed a contract with the city (he had no competi-tion because no one else saw merit in this endeavor). All city brush was dumped at Tim’s location. He worked from dawn to midnight.

A major blizzard that year overwhelmed every-one. Brush started piling up

and Tim couldn’t process or sell it fast enough.

A city inspector started sniffi ng around Burchett’s mulch yard with an eye to-ward shutting him down. Someone spotted Noe and suggested he was dumping raw sewage on the mulch.

But reporter Betty Bean determined that Noe was pumping out standing wa-ter and disposing of it at the sewage treatment plant, which KUB confi rmed.

“Hugh was a standup guy,” says Bean.

Mr. Noe was a U.S. Army veteran of World War II who served in Japan. He farmed and ran Noe’s Suburban Septic Service for 50 years. Other survivors are daugh-ter-in-law Judy Noe; grand-children, Dr. Katie A. Noe and Drs. Ronald Andrew (Leah) Noe.

MILESTONE

A noteworthy monument adorns the grave of Woodmen of the World society member Dr. John Parton. Photos by Wendy Smith

By Wendy SmithThere’s one place to encounter Knoxville’s most impor-

tant families − with names like McGhee, Mc-Clung, Armstrong and Ijams − and it may be the most beautiful and se-rene spot in the city.

It’s Old Gray Cemetery, lo-cated on 13 rolling acres on North Broadway. There have been more than 9,000 burials at Old Gray, and a tour through the tombstones reveals no-table Civil War offi cers, statesmen and artists.

Gray Cemetery was named for English poet Thomas Gray, author of “Ele-gy Written in a Country Church Yard.” The fi rst burial was in 1851 − a 23-year-old who was killed by a cannon that exploded during a Fourth of July celebration − and burials continue today in family plots. It became Old Gray when New Gray Cemetery on Western Avenue was estab-lished in 1892.

“It’s a walk through Knoxville history,” says Executive Di-rector Alix Dempster.

Dempster inherited the position from her mother-in-law, Kathryn Dempster, who held it for 20 years before she passed away in 1986. It started as a small job, but her efforts to increase awareness of Old Gray have expanded Alix’s responsibilities.

The cemetery is on the National Register of Historic Places and is listed with Museums of Knoxville. It is, af-ter all, the city’s most notable outdoor art museum, says Dempster. As of last year, it’s a Level One Arboretum, cer-tifi ed by the Tennessee Urban Forestry Council. More than 40 tree species are identifi ed by stone markers.

People continue to enjoy the cemetery, especially during special events like the annual Lantern and Carriage tour, held the last Sunday in September. But crowds don’t regu-larly fl ock to Old Gray as they once did.

It was the city’s fi rst park, and every Sunday after church, people came to socialize. Visitors often recall play-ing at Old Gray when they were children, Dempster says.

During those days, people talked about death but didn’t talk about sex. Now the two are reversed, she observes.

Visitors are still welcome. The gate is always open, even at night, to allow for police to

patrol. Near the entrance is a map hut erected by the Tennessee De-

partment of Agriculture with an index notebook that lists

everyone who is buried and their location.

Dempster’s small sal-ary comes from a fund established in 1949 to provide maintenance for the cemetery. She doesn’t

typically give tours but agreed to share a few tales

with the Shopper-News.She points out the grave of

Knoxville Fire Department Cap-tain William Franklin Maxey, who died while fi ghting a Gay Street fi re in 1904. George Mitch-

ell Parrott, engineer of the Eastbound No. 12 train that crashed in New Market in 1904, is buried at Old Gray.

A lady friend of Robert McKeehan, who also died in 1904, was known to bring an oriental rug and a rocking chair to sit beside his mausoleum. When she passed away, she, her chair and her rug joined him in the mausoleum.

The Old Gray receiving vault was built to hold bodies if circumstances prevented burial. Lena Blanch Deemer Ar-nett, who died in 1920 at age 22, was placed in the vault by her mother, who came to Knoxville to retrieve her 2-year-old grandson. Lena stayed in the vault for 38 years before cemetery trustees fi nally buried her.

The receiving vault now holds the cemetery’s lawnmow-ers, Dempster says.

She marvels at the intricacy and variety of the cemetery’s monuments, many of which are made from local marble. The tallest, an obelisk that ascends into a giant oak tree, marks the grave of the Lawrence Tyson family. McGhee Tyson Airport was named for Lawrence’s son, Navy pilot Charles McGhee Tyson.

Dempster hopes more people will take advantage of the history and beauty of Old Gray.

“All we are trying to do is get people inside the cemetery.”

As we drove through the beautiful hills of New Eng-land, I was intrigued by the little villages nestled in the valleys. Houses old and new, large and small, and a smattering of general stores (no Wal-Marts or supermar-kets). There was a school in every town, and a gas sta-tion. Not a factory anywhere.

In every town, however, there was a church, usually Congregationalist, always white clapboard, with a tall steeple, topped by a cross. In fact, that cross was fre-quently the fi rst thing I could see as we drove down into the village.

As we wound our way back home, coming down through the Shenandoah Valley – that lush, green landscape sheltered by mountains on either side – I saw another cross.

This one was standing in front of a church, not on the steeple. It was huge, gigan-tic, enormous. It stood fully twenty feet tall, and looked

For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace through the blood of his cross.

(Colossians 1: 19-20 NRSV)

Idol or icon?

CrossCurrents

LynnPitts

almost like steel lattice-work. I was stunned, and, I will admit, appalled.

I remembered a story a beloved teacher told me one day. I was wearing a neck-lace with a tiny silver pen-dant that could be construed as either a cross or a star. My teacher said he knew a pas-tor who reproached a con-gregant for wearing a cross.

“What are you doing with that idol around your neck?” the pastor demanded.

It has taken me many years to sort out all of that.

I now know the differ-ence between idols and icons. The cross is an icon, not an idol, and a symbol of God’s great love.

Bear BaitYou’ve probably heard

the story about the two boys who were hiking in the woods one day. They were miles away from civi-lization when they acci-dentally came upon a giant grizzly bear. The bear was about 20 yards from them, staring them down.

One of the boys whis-pered in a trembling voice, “What do we do now?” The other boy very slowly and quietly sat down, removed his backpack, took off his hiking boots, and put on his tennis shoes. Watching all of this, the other boy said, “Why are you putting your tennis shoes on? You can’t outrun a giant grizzly bear.” To which the other boy said, “I don’t have to, all I have to do is outrun you!”

Well, have you ever felt

like you’ve been used as “bear bait?” Have you ever been deserted by people? Have you ever been disap-pointed by your friends when they failed to respond to you when you needed them most? Probably all of us have at one time or an-other. But the good news is that Jesus will never leave you nor forsake you (He-brews 13:5). If Jesus is your friend, no matter what the trial may be, you won’t face it alone. The Lord will be by your side. Remember that!

By Cindy TaylorSome things wither and

die with age. Second Har-vest food distribution day at Powell Presbyterian Church just keeps getting better and brighter.

“During the summer dis-tribution it was a struggle to get volunteers to help with the food pantry,” said the Rev. Jonathan Warren. “We decided to base next year’s distribution dates on the volunteer turnout for the October distribution.”

Volunteers did not disap-point. More than 50 resi-dents, church members, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and leaders from the business community arrived before the sun rose to set up and give out more than 192 gro-cery carts of food.

“The reality is that we have the need and we have the food,” said Warren. “By the grace of God we had a great turnout of volunteers for October. The community really stepped up.”

Food distributions are fi nished for this year, but the church has scheduled four distributions for 2015. The fi rst will be Saturday, March 21. Volunteers are asked to arrive at 6:45 a.m. and should be fi nished by 10:30. Distribution begins at 7:30 and there are no pre-requirements to receive food. Groups of volunteers are welcome and should contact the church at 938-8311.

Powell Presbyterian Church is located at 2910 W. Emory Road in Powell.

Ethan Miller earned a spot at the dance party in celebration of Panther Pride at Pleasant Ridge.

Showing panther pridePleasant Ridge Elemen-

tary staff members found a way to acknowledge and cel-ebrate the hard work of the students through a program they call Panther Pride.

Following the nine-week grading period, students who received all A’s in behavior were treated to a morning of movies and a dance party. Students receiving less than perfect behavior were able to watch movies with their

friends, but during the dance party they met with teach-ers and discussed the char-acteristics of good behavior, including being responsible, being respectful, being pre-pared and being safe.

The program is a result of feedback received from par-ents, teachers and students. Principal Jessica Birdsong will continue to gather feed-back to ensure a great event for all students.

PMS library receives grant

Powell Middle School li-brarian, Dr. Sue Bartlett, was surprised to receive a grant for $4,000 to help with the purchase of tech-nology. The grant was from the GFWC Knoxville Wom-en’s Club, and Bartlett calls it “a gift and a blessing.”

Bartlett said that she was used to saving up for years to make purchases for the library, and the grant will help buy needed items for the students.

Kimberly Hawk enlist-ed her friend Kendra Patty to help with the grant after

she saw Bartlett in tears over budget cuts. “I want-ed to help her continue to build up the school library so I called Kendra,” she said.

The check was presented to the school during the PTSA book fair last week.

Amazing that what hap-pened to Justin Worley changed the appearance of Tennessee football.

Thousands of Butch Jones advisers can now see clearly what the coach had overlooked.

In the fi rst game of this new season, Joshua Dobbs made a remarkable differ-ence. His quickness reduced the pressure on the offen-sive line. His speed gener-ated yardage. His ability to throw on the run created problems for cornerbacks.

Astounding that without playing even one previous snap this season, Dobbs was able to produce a couple of rare touchdowns.

OK, there was less heat. The game was essentially over by the time Dobbs en-tered. And his two turnovers contributed to the wreckage that was the eighth consec-utive loss to Alabama.

Josh was not responsible for Amari Cooper. The Tide wideout chewed up Volun-teer pass defenders with a world-record 185 receiving yards in the fi rst quarter. Offensive coordinator Lane Kiffi n smiled as if he had a

20/20 hindsight: Sad that it took an injury

little something to do with it.

That dull pain and the 3-5 Tennessee record now have some new feel-better companions – a hint of opti-mism, a ray of hope, even the possibility of better things to come before next year or the next. If there are enough able bodies for a quorum, we’ll fi nd out Saturday night at South Carolina whether this is real or a mirage.

In a weird way, Worley brought this on. The gutty gladiator took the beating, week after week, the price for inept blocking and no running game. The fi nal straw, an injury to his shoul-der at Ole Miss, forced Jones to cancel the red-shirt plan and allow Dobbs to play.

Those with fl awless 20/20 hindsight may think they see that withholding

him for seven games cost a victory or two.

This is called hindsight bias, the tendency to seize a tidbit of new information and alter the facts, to adjust what really happened into what might have or could have or should have. Some so affl icted may even believe they knew it was going to end up this way and why in the heck did it take so long.

Jones left the impression that he waited as long as he could, until late August, before choosing a starting quarterback. He probably had valid reasons for pick-ing Worley. Maturity, poise, strength, experience and practice performance could have been in the equation.

Under the assumption that the future just has to be better than the recent past, the coach decided to save a season of Josh eligi-bility until it would be more meaningful, until he could gather more talent around him. Butch gambled that these Vols could qualify for a bowl game without a dual-threat quarterback.

It was going to be really close. It may still be.

Alas, there is now way to know if Dobbs could have made the difference against Florida. All we know for sure is that Worley didn’t.

The need for a quarter-back who can run has been borderline desperate. Fans understood. Through loud exclamations, they’ve been trying to help the coach. Perhaps you have heard it.

“We need a quarterback that can run! Everybody has one.”

“Butch thinks a ‘mobile quarterback’ is anyone who can do the Vol Walk.”

“We may never beat the big boys unless we get a versatile quarterback, a playmaker with another dimension.”

“Tennessee needs a dual-threat quarterback” sounds like an old phonograph record with a bad groove. Paying customers have been singing that tune, over and over, since Condredge Hol-loway. That was the 1970s.

Dobbs isn’t the “Artful Dodger” but he’s a reason-able facsimile. We’ll see if changing shirts changes November.(Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is [email protected]).

Maestro James Fellenbaum, conductor of the KSO’s lively Young People’s Concerts, reacts to an explosion in the 2012 performance of “Scientifi c Symphony.” This year’s concert se-ries is titled “Are We There Yet?” Photo submitted

A great week for kids and the arts

says Fellenbaum, who is the father of a 3-year-old girl.

Jennifer Barnett Harrell, the KSO’s director of educa-tion and community partner-ships, says she is very excited about the performances.

“The idea is that we’re going on an ‘Indiana Jones’- type adventure with Indi-ana Jones’ distant cousin, Tennessee Smith,” she says. University of Tennessee the-ater department professor and local actor Terry Weber will be playing the role of Tennessee Smith, leading the students in an interac-tive adventure.

The kids must fi nd clues to help them fi gure out where they are traveling next. “Some of the clues will be hidden right in the or-chestra,” says Harrell.

Young performers will be featured, including the West African Drum and Dance group from Austin-East Magnet High School.

Special effects, including whitewater rapids and fi re-works, will provide excite-ment.

“Tennessee Smith unfor-tunately gets doused in a couple of European rivers,” Harrell says with a sly grin.

The concerts are geared toward third- to fi fth-grad-ers. Many school groups plan to attend, but individ-ual tickets can also be pur-chased. At press time, some were available.

Performances are Wed-nesday, Oct. 29, and Thurs-day, Oct. 30, at 9:30 and 10:45 a.m., and Friday, Oct. 31, at 9:30 a.m. at the Knox-ville Civic Auditorium.

■ Elementary SherlockA different kind of expe-

rience awaits you and your youngsters as Knoxville Children’s Theatre presents “Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Baskervilles,” a new adaptation of the clas-sic mystery by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

The story centers on the legend of a ghostly, diaboli-cal hound that has roamed the moors and stalked the Baskerville family for gen-erations.

When Sir Charles Basker-ville is found dead with enormous paw prints near-by, the case grabs the atten-tion of Sherlock Holmes and

Dr. John Watson.Can they solve the mys-

tery of the phantom hound before another Baskerville falls victim to the legend?

Old Sherlock never seems to lose his popularity, and KCT executive director Zack Allen thinks it’s because he “embodies the best and the brightest in us. He’s a care-ful observer, but he also ap-plies his knowledge. I think of him as a ‘mental super-hero.’”

Allen is one of the co-founders of the 7-year-old company, which has pro-duced more than 60 plays.

The current production, adapted by Allen, has a cast of 14 young actors, ages 11 to 17. “It’s sort of thrilling,” he says, “and pretty spooky when the hound starts howling!

“But,” he points out, “there’s no better place to be scared than the theater. It’s a safe place.”

“Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Basker-villes” runs through Nov. 9, with performances at 7 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays; 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. Saturdays; and 3 p.m. Sundays.

On Wednesday, Thurs-day and Friday, the Knox-ville Symphony Orchestra is presenting kid-friendly morning concerts. If your child hasn’t experienced the sights and sounds of a real live symphony orchestra, now is the time.

The Sheena McCall Young People’s Concert, named for its benefactor and titled “Are We There Yet?” will feature music from all over the world. Maestro James Fellenbaum, well known as the popular conductor of the annual fall concerts, will be leading the KSO in a musi-cal travelogue.

“We will explore music in a fun way, from Russia to Austria, from Africa to Mex-ico. Not only will students hear what different parts of the world sound like, but – through use of video pro-jection – they can see where these countries are located,”

By Betsy PickleHalloween is almost

upon us, but unless you’re going to a party, life could get pretty boring after the trick-or-treaters head home Friday.

There’s no better way to entertain yourself than a scary-movie night, and

whether you draw from your own library, rent from Red-box or order on demand, you can quench your thirst for gore, comic thrillers or outright horror.

If you lean toward icon-ic slasher baddies, forget Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees and head straight

for the Freddy Krueger aisle. The “Nightmare on Elm Street” series has far less fi ller than the “Friday the 13th” and “Halloween” fi lms combined, and Fred-dy Krueger is a much more personable demon.

(Chill out, John Carpen-ter fans. He was around only

Scare yourself silly – or gory for the fi rst “Halloween.” If you want something really suspenseful, check out his “Assault on Precinct 13.” It’s scare city, no lie.)

I’m not into gore, so you won’t get “Saw” or “Hostel” recommendations from me. But I wouldn’t dismiss anyone who opted for the original “Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” “Poltergeist” or an “Alien”/“Aliens” double feature.

You can’t go wrong with any of the classics like James Whale’s “Franken-stein” or “Bride of Franken-stein” or Karl Freund’s “The Mummy.” Boris Karloff is practically required view-ing on Halloween for some folks.

If your zombie awareness begins with “The Walk-ing Dead,” you should try George Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead” and “Dawn

of the Dead.” For a comic take, go for Edgar Wright’s “Shaun of the Dead.”

As for me, I fancy the fl ut-ter of bat wings, so my pref-erences run to the vampire crowd. No, I’m not talking about “Twilight.” Check out the original or remake of “Fright Night” for fun, or go for blood with Gary Oldman in the 1992 “Dracula” or Frank Langella in my edi-tor’s favorite 1979 version.

Grilled Vegetable Platter at Seasons Innovative Bar and Grill

brating the seasonsa s a health thing

Seasons

Mystery Diner

At Seasons Innovative Bar and Grill in Turkey Creek, you can celebrate autumn with a platter fea-turing a bountiful harvest that is also a fairly healthy choice.

Seasons is all about changing menus to corre-spond to what’s fresh. Chef Deron Little adds a smor-gasbord of seasonal dishes as the calendar pages turn. His “regular menu” is hard to resist, especially if you have a favorite, but diners will light up their taste buds if they skip over to the sea-sonal offerings to see what Little has cooked up.

The Grilled Vegetable Platter was a great choice

off the seasonal menu. Features were crookneck squash, zucchini, porto-bello mushrooms, roasted artichokes and Brussels sprouts, accompanied with couscous, fl atbread toast points and hummus spread. I line up on the “no, thank you” side of the Brussels sprouts discussion, so I was shocked when I asked our server if “these little green things” were fried lettuce bites.

“No,” he said, “those are the outer leaves of the Brus-sels sprouts. Chef fl ash-fries them.” I still skipped the bigger bites but scarfed down those crispy little leaves that had fl aked off.

I tried to eat the veg-etables the way I knew Chef would want me to – samples of all on the fork for an or-chestrated taste – and it was delicious. I did fi nd myself moving some of the veg-etables around on the plate as I got full for just “one more bite” of the portobello mushrooms.

It may sound like it, but Michael Keaton is not draw-ing on real life for “Bird-man, or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance,” due to open at Downtown West on Friday.

The much-admired “Batman” of the fi rst two Tim Burton-directed fi lms about the Dark Knight, Kea-ton was one of the biggest movie stars in the world by the time “Batman Returns” came out in 1992. In the past 22 years, he has done solid and steady work but usually with a much lower profi le.

“Birdman” tells the story of a former movie superhero trying to capture admira-tion from critics and adora-tion from fans by mounting a legitimate Broadway play. But the chaos that sur-

While trying to resuscitate his career, actor Riggan Thomson (Michael Keaton) also hopes to reconnect with his daughter, Sam (Emma Stone), in the black comedy “Birdman, or The Un-expected Virtue of Ignorance.”

Jake Gyllenhaal plays an ambitious young man who gets into the world of underground crime journalism in “Nightcrawler,” also starring Rene Russo.

Michael Keaton carries, escapes his past with ‘Birdman’

Betsy Pickle

rounds him and the produc-tion makes any kind of suc-cess a long shot at best.

“Birdman” teams Keaton with acclaimed director Alejandro Gonzalez Inar-ritu (“Amores Perros,” “21 Grams,” “Babel,” “Biutiful”). The fi lm is also a change of pace for Inarritu, whose unfl inching dramas have drawn high praise.

This new black comedy tackles the backstage world of Broadway with continu-ous takes and a script that was a two-year, multi-coun-

try collaboration by Inar-ritu, Nicolas Giacobone, Alexander Dinelaris Jr. and Armando Bo.

The cast includes Zach Galifi anakis as Keaton’s best friend and producer, Naomi Watts as the play’s leading lady, Edward Nor-ton as the troublemaking last-minute leading man, Emma Stone as Keaton’s just-out-of-rehab daughter and personal assistant and Amy Ryan as his ex-wife.

■ Opening wide Friday is “Nightcrawler,” starring Jake Gyllenhaal as a young man who wants to do something big. He fi nds his niche when he stumbles into the world of freelance crime journalism in Los Angeles. Racing rivals to get the fi rst images of a murder or bereaved family members, he quickly rises to the top of the trash-TV heap

as he shows that he will do absolutely anything to get the story.

The fi lm marks the direct-ing debut of screenwriter Dan Gilroy, whose credits include one of my favorite fi lms from 2006, Tarsem Singh’s “The Fall,” as well as “The Bourne Legacy.” The wonderful Rene Russo (who happens to be Gilroy’s wife) stars along with Bill Paxton and Riz Ahmed.

■ Also opening Friday is “Be-fore I Go To Sleep,” a thriller starring Nicole Kidman, Colin Firth and Mark Strong; based on the novel by S.J. Watson.

The fi lm is about a woman who wakes up every day with no memories due to a trau-matic accident. Terrifying dis-coveries make her question everyone in her life. I know many women who would love to question Colin Firth. Or Mark Strong. Or both.

By Sandra Clark The conference room was

crowded at Realty Execu-tives on Emory Road as po-tential agents attended the company’s Career Night on Oct. 21.

“We want to recruit new agents in Powell,” said man-aging broker Kim Pichiarel-la. “Anyone interested in be-coming an agent can contact me at 947-900.

Laura Bailey and her team continue to work from the Realty Executives offi ce.

In a handout to prospec-tive agents, Realty Execu-

tives Associates said the company does “more busi-ness than the next largest four companies combined” in the Knoxville market. A broker is available 24/7 and a full-service staff can input listings, set up showings and process closings.

The marketing depart-ment provides custom di-rect mail and other services for a nominal fee, and the company is affi liated with mortgage and title services.

“We have a nationally recognized relocation de-partment,” said Pichiarella.

Realty Executives looks to expand in Powell

By Sandra ClarkTennessee, now 3-5, still

has a chance to be bowl eli-gible. That’s the word from Jimmy Hyams, co-host of the market’s top-rated SportsTalk show. Hyams spoke last week to the North Knoxville Rotary.

The Vols need to win at least 6 games and have won 3. This means the team must win three of the remaining fi ve games, now 3 of 4 after Saturday’s loss to Alabama. Four remaining games are with South Carolina, Kentucky, Missouri and Vanderbilt.

Hyams worked for the News Sentinel for 13 years before join-ing Dick Broadcasting, now Cumulus Broadcasting. He was inducted into the Tennessee Sports Writers Hall of Fame in 2011.

Coach Derek Dooley left a mess, Hyams said. “Most people told (Butch) Jones that it would be a 5-year re-building job. I didn’t think so at the time but am start-ing to think so now.”

Quarterback Josh Dobbs has had trouble with accura-cy and has gone to three dif-ferent quarterback coaches for help, Hyams said. Dobbs is a good runner.

Florida will fi re Will Muschamp at the end of the season, Hyams said. Florida thought that they had made a mistake when they fi red Ron Zook before the end of the season a few years back … so they will wait, but they will make a change.

Hyams thinks Lane Kif-fi n is a very good offensive coordinator but not a good

head coach. He also won-ders about Kiffi n’s and Ed

O r g e r o n’s ability to e v a l u a t e quarterbacks. Over the past few years, they have had opportuni-ties to land these quar-

terbacks and passed them up:

■ Cam Newton, who won the Heisman Tro-

phy and National Championship while at Auburn and now plays for the Carolina Panthers

■ Bryce Petty, All American and Heisman candidate playing for the Baylor Bears

■ Tajh Boyd, who was drafted by the New York Jets and set all kinds of passing records for Clem-son

Men’s basketball will be a long season with maybe 14 wins. Coach Donnie Tyn-dall has done an impressive job just to bring in nine new players. Hyams said they are picked to be 13th of 14 SEC teams. Hyams said that is close. He might go 12 of 14, but not much higher.

The women’s basketball team is better but has not made it to the Final Four in six seasons.

UT baseball is poised to make a big move. UT Coach Dave Serrano has much bet-ter pitching and hitting and may be the most improved team in the SEC.Larry Mays contributed to this report.

Vols fi ghting for bowl eligibility

By Sara BarrettKnox County Mayor

Tim Burchett is supporting Wreaths Across America in an effort to place as many live wreaths as possible on the graves of veterans bur-ied at three local cemeter-ies.

He met with Kim Harri-son and others last week.

Harrison’s son, Special-ist Daniel Harrison, was killed Dec. 2, 2004, in Mo-sul, Iraq. She said to lose a child “is the greatest fear of any veteran’s family, but my son had so many army buddies and I have a strong support group. There are so

many without family. (The cemetery) can be sort of a lonely place, especially at Christmastime.”

Burchett said a $15 spon-sorship will pay for a wreath made of live greenery to be placed on a veteran’s grave.

“If you simply sponsor one wreath or choose to sponsor 100, you are hon-oring veterans and fami-lies who have honored our community with their ser-vice,” said Burchett. Anyone wanting to sponsor a wreath can do so by visiting www.knoxcounty.org and click-ing on the Wreaths Across America banner.

When Harvey Keener of Decatur, Tennessee learned that a large abdominal aortic aneurysm had grown dangerously close to his kidney ar-tery, physicians gave him two options: tradi-tional open surgery to repair the aneurysm, or a minimally-invasive procedure done with a new, custom-made graft stent.

“I chose to go with the new technology,” says Keener. “It was the perfect choice for me.”

An abdominal aortic aneurysm or “AAA” is weak spot on the aorta that balloons out as it passes through the abdomen. If the aneurysm bursts, if is often fatal. Some people, because of their health, or the size or location of the aneu-rysm, are not candidates for the open surgery.

The traditional aneurysm repair surgery normally requires more than a week in the hos-pital, and months of recovery time. With the minimally invasive endograft procedure, a graft device is deployed through a sheath inserted through small incisions in the patient’s groin. Patients usually leave the hospital in a couple days and fully recovery in around 30 days.

Premier Surgical vascular surgeons Donald Akers, Jr., MD, FACS, and Scott Callicutt, MD, FACS, were the fi rst in the Knoxville region to use a new “fenestrated” endograft to repair com-plex abdominal aortic aneurysms. The surgeons were involved in clinical trials for the device.

“The special graft has small fenestrations or holes in it through which stents can be placed to keep blood fl owing to the patient’s kidneys and other organs,” explains Dr. Callicutt.

Each device is custom-made in Austra-lia. “The graft is precisely created using 3-D computer models developed from patient’s CT scans,” says Dr. Akers. “It’s for very select, com-

Custom-made Graft Stent Gives New Option to High-Risk Patients

plex cases that in the past would have been sent to Vanderbilt or other places for treatment.”

On October 6th, Dr. Akers and Dr. Cal-licutt completed the tenth fenes-trated endovas-cular repair at Tennova Physi-cians Regional. Harvey Keener is grateful to have been one of the ten pa-tients who have

benefi ted so far from the new technology.“I’m told my aneurysm was as big as a grape-

fruit. If I had undergone the open surgery, I would’ve been in the hospital for 2 weeks, and recovering for 3 months,” says Keener. “Instead, I was home in 2 days and walking a mile within 2 weeks.”

And, most importantly, Keener recov-ered in time for his wedding day. “Karen and I were married just 39 days after my surgery. It was perfect.”

Because of the quicker recovery time, Harvey Keeler felt great at his wedding, just 39 days after surgery.

By Sandra ClarkSometimes we take the

home folks for granted. And sometimes regular-sized businesses grow super-sized while we watch.

That’s the case with the Phil Nichols’ State Farm In-surance Agency in Halls.

“Our business is abso-lutely booming,” said Nich-ols, whose agency is adding some 300 new customers per month. “We’ve written more life insurance than any other agency in State Farm (there are 18,000). We’re fortunate to be an in-dustry leader.”

Nichols’ offi ce in North-side Square is undergo-ing renovations. Files are stacked along the walls. The offi ce is going paperless and staff must take care to properly archive (or shred) the records. Phil sits back to talk.

He says insurance is a family business, and he’s been selling insurance for so long that he’s seeing State Farm pay out claims to customers he sold when he started. That’s an important aspect of insurance, he ob-serves. You want to be sure

your company is around to fulfi l its promises.

State Farm now offers what Nichols calls “a total fi nancial package” for its clients. Banking services in-clude checking, savings and loans. “It’s all about know-ing the needs of families,” says Phil.

Nichols came to Knox-ville (Halls specifi cally) in 1980 for the opportunity to be a State Farm agent. He grew up in Alabama and played tackle for the Auburn War Eagles. After college, he sold insurance briefl y in Florida, but he al-ways wanted to join the No. 1 company, State Farm.

Did he buy an agency here? He smiles and makes a hand motion of knocking on doors. Nichols, with able assistance from wife Rheba, built the agency from the ground up.

“My fi rst month I made $1,000 and paid Harold Boruff $350 of it for rent,” he remembers.

Phil and his brother, Doug Nichols, also a State Farm agent in Knoxville, grew up in a goal-oriented, working class family. Their

mom was a widow at age 38, impressing upon both boys the need for life insurance.

Now the industry is data-driven, virtually eliminat-ing the need for underwrit-ing. Computers in vehicles can monitor driving habits and reliably predict the probability of an accident. Nichols and his staff are adapting with the times. “We appreciate our exist-ing clients and we welcome people who like what we do here,” Phil says.

Phil and Rheba have three kids: Dr. Lynn Nich-ols, a physician; Ryan Nich-ols, a State Farm agent with offi ces on Emory Road; and Brooke Nichols Cun-ningham, who is married to State Farm agent Matt Cun-ningham. Phil helped David McCollough get started as a State Farm agent in May-nardville, and West Knox agent Mansour Hasan is Doug Nichols’ son-in-law.

State Farm insures more cars and homes than any other insurer in the U.S., is the leading insurer of wa-tercraft and is also a lead-ing insurer in Canada. Its 17,800 agents and more than 65,000 employees serve 81 million policies and accounts – more than 78 million auto, fi re, life and health policies in the United States and Canada, and nearly 1.8 million bank accounts.

State Farm Mutual Auto-mobile Insurance Company is the parent of the State Farm family of companies. State Farm is ranked No. 37 on the Fortune 500 list of largest companies. Info: www.statefarm.com/.
